Who Issues Warrants in Tamarac
In Florida an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Tamarac that means the Broward County Circuit Court, which hears felonies, civil cases over $50,000, divorces, probate and juvenile matters; the County Court, which takes misdemeanors, traffic cases, small claims and civil cases up to $50,000, issues its own warrants on the cases before it.
A bench warrant follows a missed court date in any of those courts. Whichever kind it is, the warrant is part of the file of the case it was issued in, and the Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller keep that file.
For Broward County, SearchSystems opened and checked the court records page for the county at browardclerk.org/web2 (page title: Case Search | Public | Broward County Clerk of Courts), phone (954) 831-6565, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.

How to Check for a Warrant in Tamarac
The place to check for a warrant from Tamarac is the court file of the case, through the Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller at (954) 831-6565, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
Not one of the Broward County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff's and the court's) is a list of open warrants, so a check means asking the court or the prosecutor about a case by name.
Clearing a Warrant from Tamarac
Only the judge who issued a warrant can recall it. For a case from Tamarac that means appearing before the Broward County Circuit Court or the County Court, with the case put back on the calendar through the Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller.
